Author of one of the goals in Brazil’s 3-0 win over Venezuela this Sunday at Granja Comary, Marcos Pesseti celebrated the chance to produce one of the game’s standout moments. The full-back noticed the Venezuelan goalkeeper was off his line and took a long-range shot, finding the target with a precise finish to extend Brazil’s lead.

“I saw the goalkeeper off his line, there was no one to pass to, and I said, ‘I’m going for it from here.’ I pulled it off, thank God. You don’t score a goal like that every day,” the player said.

Pesseti also gave a positive assessment of the two friendlies against Venezuela. Brazil won the first match 2-1 last Thursday (20) and beat the Venezuelans again this Sunday (23). For the full-back, the team showed it could adapt to different scenarios, especially after playing with one man fewer in the second game.

“They were two good games, very different from each other. In one we had one more player and, in the other, one less. I think we managed to be the better team even with one less. That’s difficult, but thank God we came away with two wins and had good preparation,” he said.

The series of friendlies served as part of the Under-17 national team’s preparation for the FIFA U-17 World Cup, which will take place in November in Qatar.
